Recognizing a medical bill as proof of residence on election day rule amendment required by the Secretary of State
This bill (SF 120) requires Minnesota's Secretary of State to update election rules to accept a medical bill as valid proof of residence on election day. It directly affects voters who may not have standard documents like utility bills but need to register or vote in person. The key provision amends Minnesota Rules 8200.5100, subpart 2, to allow medical bills as proof, effective by January 1, 2026. This change simplifies verification for voters facing temporary housing or documentation challenges.
